Chapter 215 Using His Charm on Her!
Suddenly, it became quiet.
Imogen looked up and caught a glimpse of the deep gaze in Troy’s eyes. She immediately realized, just
like a rabbit caught in a trap, she panicked and said, “Are you home? I thought you had something to
do! Why are you taking a shower in the guest room? Why now?”
Strange!
Too strange!
She suspected that Troy was using his charm on her!
Troy casually shrugged. “I did have something to do, but now I don’t. As for why I’m taking a shower in
the guest room, Grace is watching cartoons in the master bedroom. And why now? Because I stayed
up late playing games with Grace last night. Are you satisfied with these
answers?”
Imogen coldly looked at Troy, snorted, and turned to the master bedroom.
Suddenly, Troy grabbed Imogen’s wrist.
“What are you doing?” Imogen struggled.
Troy held Imogen’s hand and placed it on his abdominal muscles, saying, “Don’t you want to touch?”
Her delicate and soft fingers touched the clearly defined muscles, familiar warmth spread at her
fingertips, and Imogen felt a sudden heat, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and glared at Troy. “Troy. Are
you crazy?!”
Without waiting for his reply, Imogen walked away with large strides, directly pushing open the door to
the master bedroom.
Grace was sitting on the small sofa, holding a tablet and watching cartoons. She looked up when she
heard the door open, and her eyes brightened. “Imogen, you’re here!”
For some reason, Imogen could still feel the feeling of warmth and elastic texture. Imogen pinched her
fingers, steadying her mind. “Grace, let’s go.”
“Wait for me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrace quickly turned off the cartoon. “Let’s go.”
Imogen quickly walked downstairs with Grace.
Once they were out of the living room, she could feel a sharp gaze on her, like needles.
She resisted the urge to turn around and continued forward.
Grace turned around and waved toward the second–floor terrace. “I’m going out to play with Imogen!”
“Okay, listen to her words.” A voice came from behind.
“I know.”
Imogen took Grace to the amusement park, and they played many attractions.
After coming down from the Corsair, Grace was still extremely excited.
Imogen bought her a cotton candy, looked at her watch, and said, “Alright, Grace, it’s time to eat.”
“Okay!” Grace licked her cotton candy, and her eyes lit up. “What are we having for lunch today?” She
really liked yesterday’s lunch and dinner and had been looking forward to today’s lunch all
morning.
“I’ve already made a reservation at a restaurant. Today, we have à la carte service, so when we get to
the restaurant, you can choose whatever you want from the menu.”
“I want meat!” Grace exclaimed.
“There will definitely be meat, lots of meat.” Imogen smiled and said, “By the way, Grace, there’s one of
my friends joining us for lunch…”
“Is it that person named Erik Hale?” Grace’s mind was quick.
Imogen awkwardly touched her nose. “Yes. It’s him.”
wouldn’t
Grace widened her eyes with an expression of being deceived. “Imogen, you said you reply to him, but
now you’re going to have lunch with him. You’re lying! Woo…Woo…” Imogen, like a cheating scumbag
who didn’t want a divorce, hurriedly explained to Grace, “Grace, don’t be upset. I am really just friends
with him. We’re just having a meal together! Think about it, if I really had something with him, I would
go alone. How could I bring you along?”
Before, Imogen had also thought about whether or not to bring Grace to have dinner with Erik.
After thinking about it, she still decided to bring Grace.
She decided to just treat it as casually dining with Erik during their leisure time.
She couldn’t make it seem like she was facing a great enemy.
After all, Victor and Blake knew she was the daughter of Ignacio. If she appeared to be
deliberately close to Erik, she would surely raise suspicions.
Moreover, this dinner was really just for discussing work with Erik. They wouldn’t talk about anything
else.
Some things need to be taken slowly.
Grace turned her small face away, with an aggrieved expression. “What I care about is not whether you
bring me along or not. It’s that yesterday you clearly said you wouldn’t reply to him, and now you’re
going to have lunch with him. You’re lying to me…No, you’re just fooling me. You’re treating me like a
little kid…Woo…”
“Grace, no, really…” Imogen explained incoherently, “I’m not fooling you. It’s just…unexpected
circumstances…”
“What unexpected circumstances?” Grace pouted and glanced at her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The truth couldn’t be said.
What unexpected circumstances could there be?
After thinking for a moment, Imogen wore a complicated and tangled expression. “Grace, let me tell
you the truth…I do have some feelings for him, but you obviously favor your uncle, so I didn’t reply to
his message in front of you yesterday.”
Grace was shocked, her mouth opened wide, and her big eyes stared at Imogen, full of disbelief.
“Imogen, you like him? What about my uncle?” The little girl had a look of almost crying on her face.
“Really, he really likes you! He told me that he accidentally lost you, but he will find you back. If he
can’t, he will never marry. Can you give him another chance?”
“Grace, I’m sorry, but I must tell you, it’s impossible anymore. I have already found someone I like, and
your uncle has found someone he likes, too. We can’t be together anymore…”
Chapter 215 Using His Charm on Her!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince she had already said that she liked Erik earlier, Imogen had no burden when she mentioned it
again.
Yes, she was interested in Erik.
She would not only say it in front of Grace but also in front of everyone so as not to arouse suspicion.
Grace’s eyes welled up with tears, and she dropped her cotton candy on the ground. “No! I want you to
be my aunt.”
Imogen felt an intense pain in her heart when she saw Grace’s tears.
She bent down and hugged Grace, gently patting her shoulder. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. I will buy you more
candy, okay?”
“I don’t want candy. I just want you.”
“Grace, I really can’t fulfill your wish. Since you don’t like Erik, do you still want to have lunch with me?
If you don’t want to, I will take you home.”
Grace paused for a moment, thought for a few seconds, and said, “Let’s go! I want to have lunch with
you!”
She muttered to herself, “I want to see what this Erik is like. How can he compare to my uncle? Hmph!”
Imogen looked at her sulking expression, like a puffed–up puffer. Imogen couldn’t help but pinch
Grace’s little cheeks and said, “Let’s go have lunch.”
Imogen brought Grace to a private room.
Erik hadn’t arrived yet, and the waiter brought utensils and the menu.
To comfort Grace, Imogen placed the menu in front of her and said, “Grace, whatever you want to eat,
just choose freely.”
Grace looked up and asked, “Are you treating, or is he treating?”
Imogen replied, “He’s treating.”
“Oh, then I’ll order more dishes.”
Imogen smiled helplessly and tapped the little girl’s forehead.
Grace wrinkled her nose and hummed softly. “He already took you away. Can’t I eat more of his food?”
Imogen was speechless.
Suddenly, Imogen felt some sympathy for Erik.
